Thanks a lot theguru1 for the license analysis. I just have one question if you don't mind. The fact that SS does not have the 1/6 LOTR and HOBBIT licenses is something you know for sure, probably from someone inside SS, or is it an assumption based on the fact that WETA has these licenses? Thanks again.
Currently it's my assumption based on Weta having the license for 1/6th and that in the past, no two companies have had the same license 'type' at the same time. Happy to be proved wrong, but so far, that's not happened.
Fritz, in none of that do that say that a 1/6th scale is coming, only that some LOTR pieces are still up their sleeves, in order words, in development.
I totally expect that some are still at various stages, and that it is the PF line or maybe the new 1/2 scale lines. Which is why I said that I do expect to see a PF or two (Hobbit and LOTR) 'soon'. But just because something is in development, Michael Tolentino himself said he doesn't know specifics, that can easily mean that while he knows stuff has been worked on, some of that could already now be on hold and Weta getting the 1/6th license back put a bit of a spanner in works.
From the moment Weta made that announcement, I assumed that a Merry/Pippin or any other new 1/6th scale statue wasn't going to come from SS, so far I'm still waiting to be proved wrong and by proof, I mean a pre-order listing, not some half crypt email about stuff coming. Actions speak louder then words and so far, there's been no action, other then by Weta.
